- CACC19/1988
The offence was prima facie triable summarily under Interpretation & General Clauses Ordinance s.89(1) and did not fall within any exception permitting trial other than summarily; the purported transfer to the District Court did not validly confer jurisdiction, therefore the District Court lacked jurisdiction to convict and the conviction was quashed and sentence set aside.
